Both cassette ports work, and I’ve even managed to get the built-in port working semi-reliably. So for right now everything seems good!You have my PETTESTER tool now to check the keyboard if the fault returns.
So does the PET now work OK.
Don't forget to test out the cassette port (if you have a cassette unit of course) and the IEEE488 port (there is a simple "type in" BASIC program for that available).

I've had one completely stripped and powder-coated, but I'd only do that in extreme cases.Yes, it works with my PET SD card readers.
There are a few spots on the case with chipped/scraped/rusted off paint I’d like to do something about. I am extremely hesitant about using paint on the case, although I would NOT be painting the entire thing, just the affected spots. I may end up not doing anything at all, but I’m curious to hear if anyone here has any experience painting PETs.
I haven't re-painted a PET yet.
